Ron Brynaert is the former editor of Raw Story and you can follow him on Twitter @ronbryn. However, I advise you to exercise caution if you decide to follow him or interact with him in any way. He is a “former editor” for a reason.

In the above picture you can see the perfectly rational, logical, and sane communication from Ron to Patterico. Ron Brynaert believes that if anyone investigating a topic, that he is also investigating, if they do not tell him every little detail then they are operating in secrecy. Mr. Brynaert believes that not only is that wrong but the others obviously have something to hide. However, that tends to be more of a projection by Mr. Brynaert because it is actually himself who has something to hide.

He not only operates in secrecy but he also creates roadblocks and distractions for people that are actually researching specific topics. At this point you must be thinking “Why would he do that?” and their are only two answers. The first is that he is ill and can not stay focused on a certain topic without flying off into left field on wild tangents. That would be innocent enough. But my opinion is inline with the second possibility; he is actually involved and a suspect in the topics he pretends to be researching.

Ron (not fucking Roy) has a strong opinion of those that, according to him, operate in secrecy. As a potential suspect in various cases he demands that info be shared with him. This would be similar to a murder suspect on The First 48 crying and moaning that the police havent kept him in the loop regarding their investigation into him. Furthermore, when Ron does not get others to cooperate he then proactively starts claiming that those whom have ignored him are [sic] “coming after him”.

So I will fulfill Ron’s wish according to HIS standards by publishing his irrational emails. After all, if I keep them private than I am doing something wrong. Stay tuned. We’ll handle Ron’s emails first then we will move onto and publish all the other communications with some other persons of interest.

Dude is sick. I total failure at life, journalism, and friendship. He’s burned every bridge he ever had and instead of blaming himself and seeking help, he tries to make it look like there is a conspiracy against him. I’ve been reading his twitter feed for months now. Every conversation where he says he feels threatened its because he has provoked the other side with so much random hate that they have no choice but to respond. He’s the only one making threats, I have no doubt he swatted Patterico and is making up everything he’s talking about. Its been months and he is still talking about the same information from Weinergate. He’s been at this for months and has NO NEW INFO!!!!! Complete loser.

Do exercise some kind of caution if you decide to actually research Ron yourself. I’m not really saying that to Doug, but to anyone else.

I was less careful and he identified my IP address and started openly sharing it. My IRL details are known to enough online people that I was worried I’d get the same treatment Patterico’s family got.

One tip: don’t click on any of Ron’s links. Use a cache or a proxy service if you must.

I hope to see more of Ron’s BS exposed. The guy absolutely infuriates me. There are a few weirdos who I think picked up on Weinergate as a chance to boost their pathetic punditry, and some of the more hateful among them have really made a mess here. Only a couple of people did the right thing, such as Mike, who continues to get this ridiculous BS from Ron and those like Ron.
